    The Keum-boo Process with Jayne Redman - 3 days ( 9-5, 9-5, 9-4) May
    23-25 (Fri-Sun); Wolf Designs, Portland, Maine Keum-boo is a
    beautiful and cost effective technique used to bond gold and silver
    to the surface of jewelry and hollowware. In this three-day workshop
    , students roll out 24k gold and fine silver and apply it to three
    dimensional, flat, and textured metal surfaces. We will experiment
    with different metals and patinas to create a variety of color
    combinations. Among our discussions will be ways to use the technique
    in production as well as one-of-a-kind work, and pattern development
    for three-dimensional objects. Students may bring finished pieces in
    sterling or 18k to embellish , or create samples in class. Jayne
